Another one that annoys me: memory is on the wrong end of the bus! The brain would be terrible at inference if all the memories were stored in the ass. Instead, the brain has the correct design: keep all the data where the processing happens and stick IO out on the bus.

That's a limitation of general purpose computers, not silicon itself. People do build ASICs with memory stored near where it is needed.
